		<description>Apparently TP perceives the ENTIRE TRUTH to be too dangerous to their own cause.

Sort of makes you wonder what cause could possibly rank higher than THE TRUTH.

Deleting posts is simply another form of authoritarianism.

Free speech s not negotiable.

Choose sides.

I&#039;m with the Americans.</description>

Since when does this Administration give a damn about &quot;awkward&quot;?

They don&#039;t even give a shit about &quot;blatant&quot;, much less &quot;awkward&quot;.</description>

		<description>Just want to add my thanks to ace for his informative posts on this thread.  I&#039;m saddened, but not surprised, to find that TP has seen fit to &quot;disappear&quot; all but three of them.  Glad I had the chance to peruse them before TP made the decision to remove them from the public eye.

Kudos, ace...keep up the good work.</description>

		<description>Hi All!  Much gratitude to Ace for his awesome posts, links, and further evidence that 911 was an inside job - something we truthseekers have suspected for a very long time.  Keep the posts coming, dear Ace, because knowledge Is power and the greater the information and it&#039;s legitimate sources, the more empowered the People will become vis this knowledge.  

To say that it&#039;s all beginning to make perfect sense now is a total &quot;understatement&quot; because in it&#039;s sheer illogicality of it all, it is now making logical sense. 

Somewhere along the line in one of the posts there was an allusion to Shulsky and Wolfowitz being students of Leo Strauss.  Do yourself a favor and research Strauss&#039; philosophy a bit and you will quickly recognize that the PNAC neocons are plagiarizing it to a tee!
Amazing!  So, the Rovian &quot;evil genius&quot; may now more aptly be dubbed Rove: &quot;Only evil&quot; because his apparent &quot;genius&quot; is nothing new but a philosophy advanced by Irving Kristol way, way back.

To say that the plans for 911 had their genesis eons ago is, in fact, understatement as it&#039;s becoming apparent that both William Kristol&#039;s grandfather and Bush 43&#039;s grandfather (Prescott Bush) were involved in anti-democratic philsophies.  Amazing how these apples have not fallen far from their respective trees, isn&#039;t it?

It&#039;s all beginning to make logical, if disgustingly heinous and hypocritical, sense now, thanks to Ace&#039;s incredibly informative posts.

Please, Ace....continue to enlighten us as most americans have now reached that remarkable intersection called &quot;Truth&quot; and are ready to be set free by knowledge of truth.  Up until now, all we&#039;ve been spoon-fed is the fictionalized version of it all.  

Kudos to Ace for bringing the &quot;critical mass truth movement&quot; one step further in our eternal quest to bring truth to our lives.</description>

		<description>Thank you Ace for your incredible research - and for connecting more of the dots. I have always believed that 9/11 was an inside job - and that another &quot;terrorist&quot; attack by the WH is imminent. They are all criminals being backed into a very tight corner - and We the People are their victims. My gnawing question is when, where and how? And then what.........

The truth will set us free.</description>

		<description>â€Weâ€™re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while youâ€™re studying that reality â€” judiciously, as you will â€” weâ€™ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and thatâ€™s how things will sort out.

		<description>Iran has No Nuclear Weapons Capabilities

by Scott Ritter

Global Research, July 5, 2007

Ritter was 100% correct when, prior to the invasion of Iraq, he proclaimed that Iraq had no WMD.

Are we going to ignore the man twice?</description>

		<description>I love these zipperheads:  &quot;waaaahh waaaaah Clinton waaahhh Marc Rich waaaahh waaaaahhh&quot; -- the only thing is, dear zipperheads, is that your pals Limbaugh and Hannity didn&#039;t tell you everything (as usual, because telling you everything would expose what liars they are.)  

Turns out that your buddy Scooter was Marc Rich&#039;s attorney, and he&#039;s the one who petitioned Clinton for the pardon.   Rich&#039;s prosecutor?    Patrick Fitzgerald.

You really got to get out a little more and look around.</description>

		<description>Bush was a little bit too careful to emphasize that he was the &quot;loan wolf&quot; on the commute decision, because any admitted involvement by Rove or Cheney in the decision would be evidence of obstruction of justice in an investigation that has not yet been terminated.  Fitzgerald is still out there.  When did awkward or inappropriate ever stop these guys before?  And the chance that Cheney was excluded from the discussions is about the same as the chance Cheney didn&#039;t send Libby on his treasonous errands in the first place.</description>

		<description>&quot;Rove identified that Wilson should be sent to Niger and then used to out Plame to close down the WMD intelligence unit.&quot;

I believe you are correct about this, ace, although I&#039;m not sure if Rove was the architect of this operation.  Remember the picture of Cheney&#039;s &quot;notes&quot; made on the Wilson&#039;s  NYT editorial?  Strange that Dick would keep this document for the historical record, no?  Unless you really want to have a cover story to mask the real agenda item.   

I know the noise machine loves to bloviate that &quot;PLAME WAS NOT A NOC!!!!!!!!&quot;....but they have very little to say about Brewster Jennings and the work they were doing, tracking WMD in the ME theater.  Kind of makes you wonder how serious these people are on the &quot;GWOT&quot;.  

The clock is ticking.....their illegitimate time in office draws down and the American people are primed to vote Democrats bigtime in 2008.  So what will they do to maintain control of the Presidency?  Because they cannot afford to have Democrats in a position to investigate and expose the entire rotten criminal enterprise that has been put into place.  Can they steal 2008 again?  Doubtful.  That leaves another 9/11 event that will allow them to declare martial law.  At that point, the terrorists will have won.</description>

		<description>&quot;If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, THE TRUTH IS THE GREATEST ENEMY OF THE STATE.&quot;
-- Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945

&quot;As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing.&quot;

		<description>Sure, a testimonial from Vin Weber, a signatory on PNAC, and a regional director of Bush-Cheney 04.  I&#039;m sure he&#039;s giving an objective opinion on this.

Kind of a silly question, actually.  Of course Rove was involved.  He&#039;s Bush&#039;s Brain.</description>

		<description>â€œI weighed this decision carefully,â€ the president told reporters after visiting wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

I thought Bush was detached and didn&#039;t care about the troops?  TP needs to do a better job of sanitizing this kind of information.</description>
